    PARCO and UN Global Compact

    The UN Global Compact is a principle-based framework for businesses, stating Ten Principles in the areas of human rights, labor, the environment and anti-corruption. They accelerate and scale the global collective impact of business by upholding these Ten Principles and delivering the SDGs through accountable companies and ecosystems that enable change.
    UN Global Compact supports the companies to do business responsibly by aligning their strategies and operations with Ten Principles and take strategic actions to advance broader societal goals, such as the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) with an emphasis on collaboration and innovation.
    Since 2009, PARCO is a member of the UN Global Compact and follows its reporting policy by filing the Communication on Progress (COP) report. The annual posting of a COP is an important demonstration of an organization’s commitment to the UN Global Compact and its principles.
